Arcademics

Our philosophy is inspired by the intense engagement arcade and video games foster between the player and the game. Our goal is to make aspects of classroom instruction as effective in creating persistence and involvement as observed in video game players. Our games are a result of blending video game features into instructional research in order to achieve a high rate of student learning through increased time-on-task and engagement.

These educational games provide fun and focused repetition practice that enables automaticity and fluency to be achieved more quickly. With what we now know about automaticity and fluency in academic performance, we can help students achieve masterful levels performance faster than ever before!

Freckle

What Is a Differentiation Platform?

Freckle is the first and only Differentiation Platform for K-12 teachers. Now you can reach every student at their level across subjects.

Takes the extra work out of differentiation

Every classroom is made up of unique students who are all at different levels. Freckle’s Differentiation Platform makes it easy for teachers to reach each student at their own individual level—without having to spend extra time preparing many different lessons every day

The perfect lesson for each student

Every lesson within Freckle is available in different levels, so every student can learn and understand the material at their own level. No one gets bored or left behind, and everyone can participate in group activities and class discussions

Differentiates both what and how students learn

Unlike adaptive programs, Freckle’s Differentiation Platform lets teachers differentiate both what and how students learn. This means that students are engaged at their academic level, on topics that interest them, while also learning in the way that’s best for them.

Khan Academy

Khan Academy offers practice exercises, instructional videos, and a personalized learning dashboard that empower learners to study at their own pace in and outside of the classroom. We tackle math, science, computer programming, history, art history, economics, and more. Our math missions guide learners from kindergarten to calculus using state-of-the-art, adaptive technology that identifies strengths and learning gaps. We've also partnered with institutions like NASA, The Museum of Modern Art, The California Academy of Sciences, and MIT to offer specialized content.

Math Playground- Give your brain a workout.

Did you know that Math Playground began nearly 20 years ago in an after school math club? My students loved learning with math games and wanted to keep playing at home. That's how Math Playground came to be. Now children everywhere can explore multiplication, fractions, geometry and more with our fun and unique math games.
